As I lay down dying, a floor for my bed
|
And a bundle of newspaper under my head
|
I dreamed a dream, as strange as could be
|
Concerning myself, and somebody like me
|
|
We were in some city, the stranger and me
|
The houses were open, and the streets empty
|
The windows were bare, and the pavements dirty
|
I asked where I was; my companion ignored me
|
|
We entered a graveyard and searched for a tombstone
|
The graves were disturbed, and the coffins wide open
|
And the coprses were rotten, yet each one was living
|
Their eyes were alive with maggots crawling
|
|
I cried out in fear, but my voice had left me
|
My legs were deformed, yet I moved quite freely
|
My head was on fire, yet my hands were icy
|
And everywhere light, yet darkness engulfed me
|
|
I managed to scream and woke from my slumber
|
I thought of my dream and lay there and wondered
|
Where had I been? What could it mean?
|
It was dark in the deathroom as I slithered under
|
